Joystick POV returns only 0.0 or 1.0

[miguelbarros]

The method "CalculatePOVValue" on the JoystickInput class returns 0 or 1.0. Shouldn't it return the angle of the POV (in degrees) that is, the value of the POV divided by 100?

AFAIK, the POV returns only one of the values given in JoystickInput.cs, for it is a "simple" 9-way button.

But correct me if I'm wrong.

the POV returns nine possible values:

-1 when the nothing is being pressed
or
0,45000,90000,135000,180000,225000,270000,315000

These last values represent the angle in degrees where the button is pointing (north is zero, east is 90 degress, etc.).

I dug a little more to understand the reason behind this. It happens that in the application the POV is being used to raise or lower the drone - hence, only two values are actually used. However i think that this should be done by some kind of mapping somewhere in the UI or the controller - and not by limiting the values returned by the joystick "driver".

OK, now I see what you want to do ... we could use all the values, that's right
